With such a conjecture, Fei Tian decided to follow Thunder Venerable's words: not to force himself to kill the enemy, prioritizing self-preservation, and putting in effort without exerting full strength.
He sent a clone to investigate. Xiao Yan defeated this clone, then chose a direction and vanished in a puff of smoke.
Seeing Xiao Yan escape, Feng Qing'er's face showed a hint of annoyance. She questioned, "Pavilion Master Fei, why didn't you stop that guy?"
Fei Tian shook his head helplessly, "Thunder Venerable didn't come. What good would stopping him do? At that time, I'm afraid there would be another huge casualty."
"But what about the things from my clan on that guy? And are we not going to avenge West Pavilion Lord?" Feng Qing'er's tone carried a hint of urgency.
Fei Tian's gaze turned slightly cold, feeling impatient with Feng Qing'er's lack of sense. "If you're so sure he has something from your Sky Demon Phoenix Clan, you can always send a message to your clan and have them send people to pursue him. As for what our Fenglei Pavilion does, you can't control that much."
Feng Qing'er's expression changed slightly, sensing Fei Tian's anger, and she stopped speaking.
The Fenglei Pavilion's grand encirclement operation thus ended anticlimactically.
The territory ruled by Fenglei East Pavilion was vast, with the entire Thunder Mountain Range within its domain.
In a bustling city, Xiao Qing was shopping, with Thunder Venerable carefully accompanying her.
As Xiao Qing walked, she suddenly stopped, staring at a small vendor selling candied haws, her eyes unblinking.
Thunder Venerable seemed to hear a "slurp" sound. He rubbed his forehead, called out to the vendor walking ahead, and bought all the candied haws.
He placed them in a low-grade space ring and gave them to Xiao Qing, who beamed with joy.
She's quite easy to coax... Thunder Venerable had a little thought, and casually said, "Your cousin has already escaped. Don't you need to continue protecting him?"
"Protect? Oh, it's fine. I'll play for a few more days. Anyway, I'm not the only one." Xiao Qing bit into a candied haw, a look of enjoyment on her face.
...
In the northern part of the Central Plains, near the center, a winding river flowed quietly. On an ordinary small mountain by the river, there was a cluster of buildings.
These houses were built against the mountain, arranged in a staggered and orderly fashion. At the highest point, there was a spacious square, and behind the square was a beautifully decorated and imposing palace.
Above the main entrance of the palace, a plaque hung, bearing the three characters "Yu Xian Sect."
Inside a room, Little Fairy Doctor touched the Sealed Artifact on her abdomen, her face gloomy.
Her entire Dou Qi was unusable due to this Sealed Artifact, leaving her only with the physical strength of a Dou Ancestor level.
A few months ago, she was brought back by the Sect Master of Yu Xian Sect and placed under house arrest here. A Dou Emperor was specifically assigned to guard her, and every time she tried to leave, she would be blocked.
Yu Xian Sect—just hearing the name didn't sound good, making her uneasy about her situation.
Fortunately, she possessed the Calamity Poison Body physique, which was not sealed along with her Dou Qi. Not everyone dared to touch her.
I never thought that the Calamity Poison Body, which I always loathed and hated, would now become my last protection... Little Fairy Doctor thought with some self-mockery.
"Sect Master..." A respectful greeting came from outside.
The door creaked open, and an old man, dressed in gray clothes, with white hair, short stature, resembling a monkey, and looking around fifty years old, walked in.
Looking at this man, Little Fairy Doctor involuntarily took a step back, gritting her silver teeth, and whispered, "What exactly do you want to do? How can you let me leave?"
"Let you leave? How is that possible... You are the gift I prepared for my long-unseen disciple...
"My disciple has high standards for women. It's rare to find one so satisfying... You should just honestly prepare to bear him two big, chubby babies... Hahaha."
After the old man left, Little Fairy Doctor slumped onto the bed, hugging her legs and curling up, revealing a panicked and helpless expression.
Xiao Yan, where are you...
...
In the vast wilderness, sand and stones were everywhere, and half-human-tall wild grass grew sparsely. Distorted trees resembled the claws of demons.
Xiao Yan was hiding in the shadow of a large rock, refining the Three Thousand Thunder Illusionary Body he had just acquired.
"Control the soul with the mind, leave the soul in the shadow..." Xiao Yan murmured, comprehending the secret of the Three Thousand Thunder Illusionary Body.
After a long while, he exhaled deeply, a difficult expression appearing on his face. The cultivation of the Three Thousand Thunder Illusionary Body required the help of thunder and lightning power, but the places with the most concentrated thunder and lightning power were occupied by the Fenglei Pavilion. If he went there, it would be no different from walking into a trap.
"Meng ya!" Qing Meng jumped off Xiao Yan's shoulder. It glanced at the Three Thousand Thunder Illusionary Body scroll a few times, clapped its hands, and separated a colorless, transparent Fallen Heart Flame clone.
Xiao Yan: "!"
His eyes lit up... Using the power of Heavenly Flames instead of thunder and lightning power seemed feasible!
The reason he was able to quickly defeat Fei Tian's thunder clone and escape earlier was because the thunder clone was condensed from soul power and was restrained by the Fallen Heart Flame. If it were condensed using the Fallen Heart Flame, it would also lack the weakness of being difficult to resist soul attacks.
"Meng!" Qing Meng took out an empty bottle, blinked its large eyes, and looked at Xiao Yan with longing.
This was the bottle that contained the accompanying purple crystal source taken from the Amethyst Winged Lion King. Xiao Yan hadn't used purple fire for a long time, and the accompanying purple crystal source had become Qing Meng's snack. However, this snack hadn't been replenished for a long time.
Some time ago, it could still chew "Demon Poison Spot," but now the "Demon Poison Spot" was also gone.
"Alright, alright, I know. I'll find an opportunity to replenish some similar stuff for you." Xiao Yan smiled helplessly.
"Meng!" Qing Meng happily spun in a circle.
The power of Heavenly Flames was more violent than the power of thunder and lightning, making it more difficult to cultivate an illusionary body with it. However, with Qing Meng's assistance, the temperature of the Fallen Heart Flame was suppressed very low, which made Xiao Yan's attempts much easier.
After some experimentation, he finally gained an initial grasp of the Three Thousand Thunder Illusionary Body.
A crisp bird cry came from the sky. Xiao Yan looked up and saw a beautiful woman in green riding a white crane.
Xiao Yan was first vigilant, then relaxed. The newcomer was Mu Azure Kira, Venerable Feng's disciple.
"Why is Miss Mu here?" Xiao Yan asked.
"Just call me Azure Kira. Aren't you looking for your companion named Little Fairy Doctor? Master sent me to handle this matter, and there's some progress." Mu Azure Kira replied.
"Really? Where is she?" Xiao Yan asked in surprise.
Mu Azure Kira jumped down from the white crane and softly said, "Don't be too happy too soon. It is said that someone saw the Sect Master of Yu Xian Sect carrying a beautiful young woman with white hair back to the Sect. The disciples of Yu Xian Sect also discussed this matter."
"Yu Xian Sect?" Xiao Yan frowned upon hearing this. A bad premonition arose in his heart.
Mu Azure Kira responded, "Yu Xian Sect is a lewd Sect near the Dan Region. The Sect is extremely chaotic, and most of the Sect disciples inside are flower thieves...
"The disciple who gathered the information told me that they learned from the disciples of Yu Xian Sect that their Sect Master intends to leave that beautiful white-haired woman for the Young Sect Master, who has been away for a long time, to enjoy... That Young Sect Master seems to be returning soon."
"Bastard!" Xiao Yan's heart surged with anger. He was extremely anxious, and the thought that Little Fairy Doctor might have already suffered humiliation made his heart ache.
"Where is Yu Xian Sect? Tell me quickly, I'm going to save her now." Xiao Yan said anxiously.
Mu Azure Kira replied in a slightly subdued tone, "I heard that they seemed to have changed their Sect Master some time ago. The current Sect Master is a peak Dou Ancestor expert.
"I have already sent someone to inform my master. You'd best calm down. With our strength, I'm afraid we are not a match."
Although Mu Azure Kira's suggestion was correct, Xiao Yan could not calm down. Every extra day meant an extra day of danger for Little Fairy Doctor.
Peak Dou Ancestor, even stronger than the West Pavilion Lord of Fenglei Pavilion... but not completely impossible to contend with.
Xiao Yan shook his head, "I must go, and I'm going to save her, not to kill that Sect Master. As long as I find Little Fairy Doctor and take her and run, I'm quite confident in my speed."
"That's a nine-star Dou Ancestor. You wouldn't not know how big the gap of one star is between Dou Ancestors, would you?" Mu Azure Kira persuaded again.
Xiao Yan certainly knew. In the past, he could use the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations to directly advance from a low-star Dou Emperor to a peak Dou Emperor, but after becoming a Dou Ancestor, he could only advance by about three stars... This was a very intuitive feeling!
He replied, "I know... But since I could kill the West Pavilion Lord of Fenglei Pavilion, then a peak Dou Ancestor should also be able to contend with me... Unless absolutely necessary, I will wait until I am sure he has left the Sect before acting to save her."
Mu Azure Kira pondered for a long time, then finally said, "I'll go with you. Besides their Sect Master, I can deal with the rest... If anything goes wrong, you hold off their Sect Master, and I'll go save her."
Xiao Yan looked at her and said very solemnly, "Thank you!"
He silently kept this kindness in his heart.
